Louisville prepares for Ole Miss matchup with new personnel

Louisville enters its matchup against Ole Miss with changes at key skill positions as the team seeks to secure a spot in the College Football Playoff. Quarterback Lincoln Kienholz takes over the starting role, bringing a higher level of athleticism to the position than previous Jeff Brohm-led offenses. Receivers TreyShun Hurry, Tre Richardson, and Lawayne McCoy are expected to fill the gaps left by Chris Bell and Caullin Lacy. The Cardinals' rushing attack continues to rely on the tandem of Isaac Brown and Keyjuan Brown, who are sharing starter duties as the offense adjusts to new personnel. Defensively, the team expects the front line, anchored by Clev Lubin, to serve as the unit's primary strength this season. Louisville enters the contest with high expectations following a history of near-misses in recent campaigns.
